"Okay for a short stay, unlikely I’ll come back."

6.0

The location and the staff were great. Breakfast was also very nice.

The room was old, bathroom door creaked all the time, the room was a bit smelly in a funny way and the shower drain was somewhat clogged too. The room definitely needs a renovation and some maintenance.
